I recently completed a Q&A session with Mary Karamitsos for Peter Barber's excellent blog. You can read it HERE. Peter, like myself, married a zany Greek girl and it transformed his life, as it did mine. His writings have been delighting Grecophiles for several years now and, if you haven't yet read any of his work, head over to that blog and start investigating. You won't be disappointed.

The book I'm currently working on is called 'Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About Greece But Were too Embarrassed to Ask.'
On my Facebook 'Books' page I posted some info about this book and mentioned that I'd be posting PDF files of the first two parts of the book here.
So, to the right you can see those files. if you want to download them and give them a read, please do. I would appreciate some feedback too though, if it's all the same to you, thx!

I’ve added a new link on the 'Links' page, and it takes you to Ray Berry's blog "Deep in the Heart of Crete," (URL is https://lovingcrete.com/).
Ray is another indie-author, like me, and his site has lots of gorgeous photos and useful info about all parts of the island that I now call home. One of his most recent blog posts is all about the Ierapetra area, and the link on my 'Links' page takes you straight to that piece, but do go exploring using the other tabs on the site, one of which is "My Secret Crete Books," which is where you can read about Ray's published writings and find links to purchase them.
Here's a link to Ray's author page on Amazon too.
Ray's a regular contributor to the Facebook page that I started, A Good Greek Read, so if you're a member there you'll get updates each time he puts a new post on his blog.
